MEET THE FATSTICK TEAM
HERE AT FATSTICK WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT PADDLEBOARDING AND SURFING.
We are proud to have a selection of dealers and team riders that test our products and make sure we are continually evolving and producing boards that give outstanding performance and great experiences every time.
REUBEN MAY
Owner and creator of FatStick, Reuben began his life surfing and after suffering back problems and unable to prone surf any longer – he needed a route back into the water. This was the beginning of FatStick. Reuben lives for the brand he created and grew alone – it gives him such a buzz to see people out there, riding FatSticks.
Reubs is far from a one man band now, as FatStick has grown with team members, team riders, new countries and FatStick Family Members!
ELIZABETH MAY
Elizabeth is one of our FatStick ambassadors who rides our 10ft Pink Panther SUP. Elizabeth’s passion is to encourage more ladies to get into the exciting sport of stand up paddle boarding. Elizabeth loves to go out for a relaxed paddle on those sunny days in addition to riding small mellow waves in Devon.
ANDY WARNER
Co-owner and Reuben’s partner in crime, Andy is based at Hayling Island and gives input into the brand at all levels.

She has linked up with FatStick Spain and is a great ambassador for FatStick offering lessons, board hire and sales…in fact, there’s not much she doesn’t do when it comes to SUP.

DAVE LUDGATE
Our guy in Ireland, Dave Ludgate is a passionate conservationist. We first met Dave online whilst chatting to him about a SUP that can be used for Coastal and River Cleans around his home city of Cork.

An all round great guy who has a genuine passion for SUP and all it can bring.
